I've had the most refreshing laughs in the last 24hrs, I called St Josephs in downtown houston as mentioned by Airpure who by the way has not responded to my personal email, they sound good too but the Doctor she used years ago iIs no longer with them think she's retired. Just tot to share! Cheers to great choices and new possibilities everyone. @Tvegas thanks for the Tetuila soundtrack

kykes:

Hello all,

Please for those who used delta airlines, how many days to travel do I need to get the doctor's fit to fly? I am planning on arriving during the coming public holidays (1st week October) and just want to ensure I cross all mt ts properly.lol

MerryMom: Border don dey close o. El Paso 2 chance remaining! Oya wole pelu $5410 e oh.

Is lapping allowed?

Morning guys, just to state that there is no war between the hospitals o. We are just trying to make light of a disappointing review and to encourage our brethren. God knows I was also waiting for that review. GEJ must go for this sha, na so he take cancel our fuel subsidy.

NB: To serious matters,information reaching us says a massive crowd led by Phema, Raii,MadameU,and Toitoi have been trying to cross our border since 5am this morning. We need charitable citizens of the border to help with crowd control and passport inspection.
@Phema, there is no lapping please join the queue. Thanks as you comply.

@tvegas: I got the alert too on exodus of people and they are at the border. Please let's go and welcome them. They are our brethren. We would sing for them the normal church song " you are welcome in the name of the Lord, we can see all over you ......"

I had a dream that someone that planned going to mihs before was reworking the budget sheet. I saw that the budget for shopping was drastically reduced. The person was making correction to feeding budget. Who is the person? Stop the budget adjustment. Come over to El paso now

Dear All,

I would like to request anyone please recommend me hospital in Citrus Height Area in California. My realitives are there, so I would be comfortable. Also 2nd option I have is doctorsparati. Any one have recently experience with them.


Many thanks for reading.

Paddy when you are at the border,you behave like the borders. No squeezing,no lapping and no stories. You can present your burden of proofs to our officers. @Lizcom, kindly check her burden of proofs properly.@Merrymom Pls give her a thorough pat down and use the scanners.

@Phema: Just join the queue. The border town will take us all. So Tvegas will arrange for quick passage. You are welcome

@Phema. You see now. Tvegas has asked that I check your documents. I will just check how much you carry finish. So send details now for processing

all these our El Paso mamas and papas, abeg nah, pity our MHIS people switching over to your end. Have a heart and give them an outstanding welcome..lol.. you guys are cracking me up this morning...I have got a huge smile on my face.. thanks for making my day.

Welcome yabilaz, unfortunately as California is an expensive area, I don't think we have many posters here with info on that location. Here google is your friend. Just google the location, hospital and make some calls from 3pm in the afternoon. I am sure you will get some response. Thats what most of the contributors here did. For doctorsparait, take out time and read the blog, a lot has been said on it here and we have so many people headed there, some even there already. You can even click on the name of a poster who has stated they are going there and read previous posts to tell you more. Hope this helps.

Hi Peeps,

So i also called Methodist Sugarland last night and asked for a package for cash paying patients and they adviced as stated below

1.V- Delivery - 2530 for 48 hrs stay
Epidural - 1,500 (a must for me)

2.CS Delivery - 3,780
Epidural - 1500

this is minus Doc Fee

she kept saying its just for Delivery and its covers baby n mother.so i am actually afraid of hidden cost.

let me knw peeps if u got anything different

Tvegas and lizcom25, shey na only burden of proof una need? No wahala! This time I commeth with a trailer load.

But, eerrmm. . . Na only $2888 I get for hospital bill with a $250 rebate (as my tfare back to my village). I don't mind if we are 10 in the delivery room. We go run am General Hospital style. The more the merrier.

Goodmorning guys and have a wonderful day ahead

Make I go work go find the remaining balance for MIHS money.

Many thanks mamacajah.

Much appreciated, I have sent emails to many hoospitals of California - so far no luck.

Anyway, What other options do I have If I go with my wife only - How long minimum husband should stay with wife before delivery and after in case if I shortlist doctorsparati.

Many thanks

Cheiii @ MIHS mamas, I sympathise with you , but don't worry God dey. For those looking for other options apart from the Border Town (I hail una border people oo), why not look into Gwinnett (in Atlanta) also? This is a summary of the costs I have so far:

1. Hospital Fees: $2,400 - $3,600 after discount if you pay within 30 days (40% discount)

2. Dr Fees: Dr Oduro- $2,100
Dr Soyoola - $2,475 (this was after I used all my power to price from $2,675 )
Gwinnett group of OBGYN's - $1,800

I called last week. They asked me to fax over my medical records which I am yet to do and I will keep the house posted once I do.

All in all, you can use Gwinnett for an uncomplicated delivery for approximately $4,200 - $4,875 depending on the obgyn used.
My friend who delivered there says to budget less than $500 for paediatrician and about $250 max for circumcision.

With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that we have other options too

^^^Not bad. What about accommodation?

Wow @Jaejae, thanks very much for all the info o, you have done a lot of work there. Have you decided which hospital you will be using?

I spoke to Dr. Soyoola recently and he said the best he could from his original quote of $2,675 was to come down to $2,475 , $200 pere!
And he also said I need to do a deposit of $1,500 (and I should include $200 to cover bank charges if transferring from outside the US).

But someone else on this thread advised me to look into using one of the obgyn's attached to Gwinnett itself as the price is a lot cheaper at $1,800 and I have spoken to them but have been asked to fax over some documents. I will keep everyone posted.

anonymousmum: see as thread full

MHIS you have broken hearts o... #teamhouston

Team houston o! Lol

Ok sorry, how could I have forgotten

I got accommodation for a total of $1,600 per month including feeding and transportation for hospital visits and shopping - it's a Nigerian lady that offers this as a service to preggy's, she is the one my friend used earlier this year.
